Trotsky moved to America and got involved in the labor movement in the 20s.
Al Smith made a better impression on people, especially during the 30s.
FDR's first two VPs were killed by jealous mistresses or husbands before they became VP, so Truman was chosen.
Eisenhower was injured in a freak accident on the last day of the war and retired from the military, and finally from public life altogether. He was a consultant on movies and TV programs, and with his son Milton wrote a number of mystery novels.
LBJ ran for the Texas state legislature but was caught with a mistress, lost the election, stayed in the oil business and became a rival with the founder of Ewing oil. He got into a fistfight with one J.R. Ewing at the edge of a parking garage and both fell ten stories to the pavement below. The incident was immortalized in a highly rated episode of the nighttime soap opera,
Dynasty.
Nixon became a political commentator for NBC News, and later president of NBC.
Kennedy died in the arms of his final mistress, and there is still debate about whether she did it on purpose.
Final Mistress is the title of a best-selling novel by Tom Clancy, which became a popular TV miniseries. It's 90% fiction.
Bill Clinton started a private law practice, only met Hilary once, made a pass at her and she hired a different lawyer.
Jimmy Carter is head of the Red Cross.
Gerald Ford coaches football at Harvard.
Spiro Agnew was governor of Delaware for many years. He managed to avoid too much trouble.
Up until 1990, Ronald Reagan was host of "Death Valley Days", the longest running prime time documentary series ever.

Bush Sr. is head of the Johnson oil company, and his sons are vice-presidents in the company.
William Jenner tried to broker a peace deal in the Middle East and earned the distinction of being the only president to be assassinated *after* he left office. Who did it and why is still a matter of conjecture. It may have been the Arabs, the Israelis, the Chinese, the Koreans...
Charles Manson was born in 1934, and he's in the Internet Movie Database; most of his appearances are in archival footage, in documentaries.
Here's some information:

So he would have to be adopted soon after he's born, his life is entirely different. He still has some moderate talent for music, and his political campaigns use a lot of music written and/or performed by himself.
Maybe, after WW I or WW II, the US tried to have more of a military, peacekeeping presence in Europe, or S. America, and it became a quagmire like Vietnam, so the anti-war movements started earlier. With that came women's lib starting earlier.
Ross Perot wouldn't settle for VP in OTL; he's not as wealthy in ATL but he's still got the same personality.
